Chinese people are right

The debate has never been so intense! It might not be the Year of the Linux Desktop, but that's certainly a great one

This is a great step for humanity imo

The world is getting a better place

Potrei provare ad usarli allora

I don't get the social dynamic that would eventually bring the party to elect only the candidates loyal to the party. For real, here in Italy we've got a great issue of nepotism and this reform would probably bring fresh air to a corrupt and inefficient elite
Almost surely not everyone will be able to candidate themselves, some kind of degree or qualitification must be a minimum requrement

Nessun pericolo? Avrei qualche dubbio, ci deve essere qualche stortura in mezzo

It runs fine overall!

I just installed it in this very moment and I'm texting you from the new Fedora KDE Spin installation - Touchpad gestures work ootb, I just find some design choices kinda... uhm, questionable I'd say. Nevertheless, it runs fine overall!

apparently, Plasma 6 Toucpad Gestures are uncustomizable...

Plasma 6 Laptop Experience
Hello everybody! I was thinking of switching from GNOME to KDE Plasma on my laptop. The main things keeping me from switching are
- Touchpad Gestures
- Dynamic Workspaces
Since I have a pretty beefy machine, dynamic workspaces are more an optional than anything but if there's something unnegotiable to me, especially for a laptop experience, is the touchpad experience which must me at least viable. So what has been your experience? Please I need your opinion

Yes, that's why my distro of choice is Linux Mint lmao

Yup, its not widely used mainly because of the chaotic development, lack of a devcent mobile client and an actual selling point since it is basically a 1:1 recreation of discord

Today my computer science teacher asked a friend of mine to show his screentime statistics as a joke. Bro literally spent an average of +11h A DAY on his phone...

We've known the side effects of social media for decades but we're still doing nothing...

Finally cheaper hardware in the used market

Dio spero di no

CHE TRAGUARDO

Tutto ciò ha del tragicomico, ed è terrificante al contempo

Ha senso imparare typescript?
Salve a tutti! Mi sono appena ritirato da una conferenza di informatici nella mia città e ho notato che moltissima gente scrive in Typescript ma sinceramente non ne capisco il senso visto che alla fine dovrebbe compilare in JS normale. Voi cosa ne pensate?

Lenses for a newbie
Hello everybody. I'm planning to get my first camera body and lenses but I'm not quite sure on what lensens to get. I think I'll get a LUMIX DMC-GF1 which I can find for fairly cheap prices so I can spend most of the money for some good lenses.
What lenses would you recommend me buying? Is there some kind of "general lenses" I can use without having to switch them according to situations? I'm very new and confused by all the technical terms and stuff

Piracy is not immoral (sometimes)
I'll go straight to the point:
- Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
- Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
- Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
- Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
- Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

Anti-Environmentalist Propaganda


Hello everybody! I'm a student living and studying in south Italy. As you might already know, there have been a few protests made by Ultima Generazione (Brutally translated: Last Generation) which have been object of debate and disputes (and mostly critiques)
I'm afraid that Italian politicians are now exploiting these protests to indoctrinate people into hating environmentalism. In my personal experience, I've seen plenty of people who used to support environmentalist protests starting to, I wouldn't say hate, but at least distancing themselves from the environmentalist cause (regardless of the age)
Know here's the question: Have there been similar protests in your country? What about the reaction of the media and the public?
EDIT: i put a random pic of Fridays for Future and Extintion Rebellion militants helping with the flood in Emilia Romagna

Too much porn on Pixelfed
Hello everybody. I've been browsing the Fediverse for a few months now and I'm loving it but there's a not-that-small issue I'm having with Pixelfed
So basically every time i go into my federated timeline I always end up seeing PLENTY of literal porn (not artistic nude, i'm talking of fully fledged porn) EVERYWHERE. Is there a way I can disable it? I don't want to force block every post maked as nsfw even because sometimes not-nsfw posts get marked as nsfw for some reason
I'm using in an Italian instance called pixelfed.uno
Some help wold be highly appreciated 🙏 Thanks in advance!

Instagram joins the Fediverse


Why isn't anyone talking about this? It looks like Meta wants to compete with Twitter with a new Instagram microblogging app which will probably be compatible with Mastodon
Key Point of the article:
*“Soon, our app will be compatible with certain other apps like Mastodon,” Instagram’s slide says. “Users on these other apps will be able to search for, follow and interact with your profile and content if you’re public, or if you’re private and approve them as followers.” *
